When I started watching wrestling in 96 Enos & Bloom were jobbers in WCW , which Im surprise Bischoff didnt do anything with them there considering they are Minessota and AWA guys but watching there Beverly Bros run I had no clue they were the same guys. They were solid as hell as the Beverlys and even gave the Bushwhackers a good match at a PPV, The gimmick wasnt that lame as it couldve been , I think the Genius made it worse but If they had came in a year or two earlier they wouldve had a better run, They are probably one of my favorite teams to watch in the 90's overall. I need to watch some AWA

He was first on wwe tv in '96 when they were about to an anti-drug angle with Fatu, I had just started watching wrestling at that time, I found out years later he was in ECW with Samu as the Samoan Gangsta Party.

Im not hip to the Moolah Jokes whats the story with her trainees , I already know about the Slave she had

I hope when The do a full on Draft, They Switch Reigns , he is perfect for the Batista role on SD

You mean doing what he's been doing for the past year but on SD instead of NXT? I give him 4 months before he's not even on SD for weeks at a time. I hope they move Sami to SD and Maybe Joe for AJ. I see only one or two major switches since theyll probably be doing the draft in the summer. I hope Dean is out of the doghouse by then so he can move to Raw

Some Psychology, good match

Some Psychology, good match

Some Psychology, good match

I'd imaging the got time cut, at least Bayley got her moment

Yes, I was hoping for more Sasha vs Bayley interaction its been pure spotfest.

Really good shit, Vince not touching the Floriday Territory until Sr dies was interesting, Vince outsmarted everyone in the beginning and he wants us to feel sorry for him losing to WCW for a year and a half

That was the best RAW PPV so far overall, The Main Event was what is was and atleast it made sense but I thought every match was atleast watchable. I though Charlotte looked the the best I've seen her here because she wasnt doing too much, and pulling out crazy spots like she does on every PPV. She does shit just to display how athletic she is, We get it, she is athletic but she focused more on being heel. I didnt like how Sasha came out like she was going to push he off the turnbuckle, she came out like a heel run in,that threw me off. The Cruiserweight match was the Match of the Night

That Dr did more damage than Zohorian, hearing the stories on him made my gut wrench. I was 10 when Specolli died and I thought it was a work because of how WCW handled his death. I wasnt aware of his work in ECW or WWF because I started watching wrestling literally a weeks after his last tv appearance in WWF. He was only weeks into his WCW run and the way he was booked it made since than he'd fake his death to get out of the match but my older brother looked at me and was told me that he was really dead. I had no clue he was only 27. He was the Gino Hernandez or the 90's?

It also makes me thing about what is Brickhouse Brown had took Pat Patterson's offer an ran with the male stripper persona Shawn took on. Shawn probably wouldve not been the boytoy atleast at that point in time. That press conference made Sid come off as the victim and Tunney such a heel

The soundbite of Shawn on commentary , Im only two segments in to this episode and was laughing loudly at work. & Savage vs Sabu was gonna happen in 95?

Im over two months behind because I was out of work since November and I listen to this to get through my work days so Ive been back listening to Zellners podcasts and Im kinda glad I'm backlogged so I can just go through these shows till i catch up and the finally pay for the Patreon shows because I was meaning to do that months ago before i had to go on leave. I like how you guys added the old school commercials. I love this podcast Bix and Kris make a great show. No matter how far behind I get I'll try to listen to every show, The DreamWave show from this week was classic, before CHIKARA ran its Joshi shows it made me want to really discover Joshi and watch a bunch of classic joshi from the 80's & 90's so ofcoarse i watched the Dreamwave shows and a few other supershows from that era. I even got into the current joshi at that time and I fell in love with Kana.I was out of work for 3 weeks and I was completely into Joshi at that point even though it was practically dead in '11 and SummerSlam was the first Wrestling show I rented when I was a kid, that opener was really good

They've ran this feud into the ground now and i think Banks getting hurt ruined her chances of having the title for a decent period of time. With that being said Charlottr has been booked as a stronger champion than she probably wouldve been this side of the brand split. Charlotte has become a great heel in the past year but the down side of that is Raws womens division isnt as strong booking wise as Smackdown. The only exciting match left is Charlotte vs Bayley. Sasha would be better off heel so we can have her vs Bayley at WM.

I'm thinking about signing up I want to check it out bts is the only podcast I've been consistent with lately. Plus the long drawn out podcasts help me get through my 12hrs shifts

I think the Womans Division was alot better over all before the 4 horsewomen got called up, Its been ok on the main roster but Not to the level of the Revoloution in NXT. I do think Smackdown has built up a better roster of women by basically giving everone a fresh start , Raw is too top heavy with Sasha & Charlotte. I dont get all the pesemism about the CW division other than the fact that historicly they dont give it enough focus long enough to really make it mean something. I think its great that its brand exclusive , I thought the womens division shouldve been brand exclusive at first but I glad its not since Smackdowns division is pretty enjoyable right now. I dont watch RAW or Smackdown so I dont know how well its getting over but I thought the CW match at the PPV was nice and they got a nice reaction, I thought it was nice that the first major title match didnt feature high flyers .

were you saying that when Benoit or Eddie was World Champs, we live in a times when majorty of guys are cruiserweights or borederline cruiserweights you got US and IC as secondary to the World and Universal so why not have a title exclusive to the division that guys can eventualy outgrow

I finished watching the Women Wrestling 24 doc on the network before this show and I was kinda Surprised the Sasha vs Charlotte went on 2nd, It goes to show that this is Vinces compary at the end of the day. That top Rope backbreaker spot was scary man , If I was Charlotte I'd be thinking I took a few steps back as far as getting the devision over in Vinces eyes. I like Sasha but she isnt the crispest worker either, It had to be hell for her to finish that match hurt like that. Charlotte was crying leading to the finish and Sasha was Crying after the Match was over you can tell she was legit hurt. I like Charlotte too but its obvious she the least experienced of the 4 housewomen and the most ruff around edges in the ring

edit

i'm a month behind on the TV but i think it made the show better for me, I'll admit even thought the last few Takeovers has been good but this was the first one since Respect that I walked away thinking even more exiced for the TV coming up. Im going to go back and watch the NXT tv leaing up to Tonights show , Its the only wrestling show Im consistant with.

Doom gets alot more appreciation event in WWE mainly because of JBL's commentary.The first NWA tape i saw was Starcade '89 so I got to see Doom a couple of times on thats show, He was a joke in in WWE kinda the 80's equivalent too 2 Cold Scorpios WWE run, although I did see a match vs Tito Santana at the Houston summit show up on WWE Classic afew years ago I really dug. I love his squash matches when he first came.

If I were Hunter,I try to get NXT on ESPN since its looked at as a way more serious Program than the other WWE brands and they are based out of Orlando. If he kepts it separate from Raw and Smackdown and kept a more sports like feel he can kinda get away from the WWE stigma and build a broader fan base that are sports fans exclusively that wouldnt mind giving wrestling a chance again.
